Winter Term Registration

Thank you if you have already registered.   AAMOC would like to hear from some 20% of members who have not registered so we know actual number of students.

Intermediate Physics Class Registration

Many students have expressed their desire for Cedar Point as a Fun day Field Trip (vs. Kalahari water park in the past).   We can take students to Cedar Point it if parents approve and there are enough adult volunteers.   We would like to talk about this with parents first before promising students.   Parents and students, please attend a 10 minute meeting in room 243 to decide on a plan.

Always Remember:  Member participation makes AAMOC the best volunteer organization in town.
